摘要:
A novel SOC structure and method of making the same are provided. An SOC comprises a logic region, an SRRM and a DRAM region. The storage capacitor in a DRAM cell is formed in the first dielectric layer in an MIM (metal-insulator-metal) configuration, having a large vertical surface area. A butted contact, formed in said first dielectric layer, comprises a bottom portion abutting a first and second conductive region in an SRAM cell, and a vertically aligned top portion coupled to a first metal layer. The top portion has a substantially larger depth than that of the bottom portion, while substantially smaller in size. Forming this SOC structure does not require adding complex, error-prone additional processing steps on an existing CMOS manufacturing process, thus having little impact on the overall SOC product yield.

Semiconductor devices having a dual polysilicon electrode and a method of manufacturing are provided. The semiconductor devices include a first polysilicon layer deposited on a second polysilicon layer. Each polysilicon layer may be doped individually. The method also allows for some semiconductor devices on a wafer to have a single polysilicon wafer and other devices to have a dual polysilicon layer. In one embodiment, the semiconductor devices are utilized to form a memory device wherein the storage capacitors and transistors located in the cell region are formed with a dual polysilicon layer and devices in the periphery region are formed with a single polysilicon layer.

A process for forming a buried stack capacitor structure in a recessed region of a shallow trench isolation (STI) region, has been developed. The process features a unique sequence of procedures eliminating possible polysilicon stringers or residuals which if left remaining would result in leakage or shorts between conductive elements. The unique sequence of procedures include: deposition of a silicon oxide layer on the polysilicon layer from which the storage node structure will be defined from; photoresist plugs used to protect the portions of the silicon oxide and the underlying polysilicon layer located in the recessed region, during definition of the polysilicon storage node structure; and definition of the polysilicon storage node structure via a wet etch procedure, using the silicon oxide layer for protection of the underlying polysilicon storage node structure.

摘要:
Embodiments of MIM capacitors may be embedded into a thick IMD layer with enough thickness (e.g., 10 KŘ30 KÅ) to get high capacitance, which may be on top of a thinner IMD layer. MIM capacitors may be formed among three adjacent metal layers which have two thick IMD layers separating the three adjacent metal layers. Materials such as TaN or TiN are used as bottom/top electrodes & Cu barrier. The metal layer above the thick IMD layer may act as the top electrode connection. The metal layer under the thick IMD layer may act as the bottom electrode connection. The capacitor may be of different shapes such as cylindrical shape, or a concave shape. Many kinds of materials (Si3N4, ZrO2, HfO2, BST . . . etc) can be used as the dielectric material. The MIM capacitors are formed by one or two extra masks while forming other non-capacitor logic of the circuit.

A random access memory cell and a method for fabrication thereof provide a field effect transistor device laterally adjoining a metal oxide semiconductor capacitor device, each formed within an active region of a semiconductor substrate. Within the random access memory cell and method: (1) a single fluorinated silicon oxide layer of a single thickness serves as both a gate dielectric layer within the field effect transistor device and a capacitor dielectric layer within the metal oxide semiconductor capacitor device; and (2) a channel region within the field effect transistor device has a different threshold voltage adjusting dopant concentration in comparison with a semiconductor plate region within the metal oxide semiconductor capacitor device. The random access memory cell is fabricated with enhanced performance.
